W124 Euro Headlight / Wiper Question

Hey guys,

If I run the Euro headlights on a '93 300E, can I utilize the original motors but just buy new wipers? Do I have to buy the 94-95 motors and wipers? I would like to keep the wipers and not delete them. Thanks.

I've read you can just swap the motors left to right and keep them, but I have no idea if this is true.

It's best to get the correct 94-95' motors, wipers and trim panel. You can prolly pick them up used very cheap from any good salvage yard like Potomac German Auto. Even new they aren't that much...maybe $250-300.

You 'can' do it with the old hardware, but it'll look odd.

Thanks for the response. How will it look odd?

The wiper arms are shaped differently really. The pre-facelift ones are more flat, and the post-facelift have a shape like an L with a 45deg bend.
